Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Patients with Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss.
Medical Principles and Practice : International Journal of the Kuwait University, Health Science Centre 2018 October 17
OBJECTIVES: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a common acute disease with an incidence of 0.5-2/10,000. This study aimed to determine whether neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) could be indicators for sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).
METHODS: A total of 60 confirmed cases of SNHL and 60 healthy volunteers were inducted into this study. Peripheral blood NLRs and PLRs were both compared between these. These SNHL patients were divided into two groups, according to therapeutic effect: effective group and ineffective group. Peripheral blood NLRs and PLRs before and after treatment were compared between these two groups.
RESULTS: The average NLRs and PLRs of these patients are both significantly higher than in controls. The average NLRs and PLRs of the ineffective group were both significantly higher than that of the effective group.
CONCLUSION: Peripheral blood NLR and PLR could be used as a convenient, reliable and cost-effective indicator to predict the prognosis of SNHL.
